With the 30% off, I decided to place a Della Terra order. The discount covered shipping to Canada, and a couple dollars of my actual order. Sadly they didn’t have samples of everything I wanted, so I ended up with 2oz of a couple teas. Umm.

I also signed up for the Verdant tea club without thinking. I’ve already emailed to cancel after the first month, because with $38.50 for the $30 club, or $40 of tea with free shipping, the $40 with free shipping is obviously the better deal. What I need is a friend in Bellingham. :)

Curses! You know what I hate? When a tea company I just placed an order with sends me a coupon for ordering with them for 20% off my next purchase. Ok, I don’t HATE it, but it stinks. Hopefully the coupon stays good until I can afford another tea order.

Happened to me with them on my last order!
However your order prompted me to get 5 ounces of this myself. I love it and it is perfect for a yixing I have yet to season!
I am also afraid it will be gone soon.

Haha thats what we do here to each other :)
Its a good thing as I may have missed it and I mean 10 bucks for 5 ounces of that good of an oolong is so worth it! Then I did use my code. So really 8 bucks.

Exactly I know I shared so much of my first batch with others I ran out fast lol I will have even more to share now!
Oh Emily seriously I have really enjoyed exploring Mountain Teas tea and I love the bags they come in – although not resealable there is just something cool and colorful about them :)

I try to be strong. I come here because I’m curious, too, but end up getting sucked in most of the time. I look at an order, see something that looks interesting, and if I don’t buy it right then I think about it for a few days and then cave. Sometimes I can resist, though. I’m working on getting better. haha

yappy- I don’t go on the sales thread anymore. It’s too tempting. I just stay out unless I am looking to buy.

I have tons of tea already. Slowly working through 50 0.5 oz try me pack sizes from della terra. taking forever. and the rest of course. Really focusing on trying all the della terra now though. neeed that gone.

Wow! That’s a lot of Della Terra! I’ve been tempted, but I definately know I can’t buy that much. 1) I’d have no room for the tea, 2)I’d never get through it all, and 3) I don’t have the money to buy that much and still be able to try other companies. But if I had the money, time, and space, I’d be right there with you!

I ordered 6 try me packs while they were still 30% off. so i meant 60 0.5 oz haha. Although its been great trying so much of their stuff and I’ve found some I really like and plan on reordering, So far most have only been so-so.

So I was home for the weekend and was rummaging through my parents’ tea cabinet for something to drink. I found a tin of some weird powdery black stuff. Smelled ancient. I asked my dad was this was. Apparently it was puerh and he really enjoys it. Well, the tin was nearly empty and his birthday is coming up, so I made an order on Mandala Teas for better quality stuff for my pops. And of course I had to pick up a couple of unique teas for myself. :p

Of course, no one should be surprised that I went and bought 2 oz of Laoshan Black not 15 minutes after I commented on Frolic’s post above. Would have been sooner but I chose to write about my Mandala order first. haha

Yay, Laoshan black!

Also got an ounce of Anxo Fo Shou. The reviews have had my salivating for weeks!

I’ve been itching to try Laoshan Black, and I noticed it was back in stock, so I bit the bullet and bought 2oz. Very daring considering I’ve never even had it before, but I have faith in Steepster’s reviews. :)

I also ran back to Butiki Teas and ordered extra Taiwanese Assam, along with Organic Irish Breakfast, Pineapple Cilantro Cream, and Maple Pecan Oolong. Those latter three will be the first time I’ve tried any of those (the lattermost being my first oolong ever. Kind of excited :D )

After that I think I’m going to try and drink through everything slowly. With all of those added to my current inventory, I’m starting to have quite a lot of tea. ^^; Plus if I don’t slow down, I think my wallet might go on strike.

Hope you enjoy your first oolong! A flavored oolong was where I started and it made me totally fall in love with them (I’ve just barely stuck my toes into trying unflavored oolongs lately and I’m having a blast!). Heh, I feel you on the wallet thing. I want to order more Verdant stuff so bad (especially Loashan and Anxi Fo Shou) but I think my bank account requires me to take a little breather for a bit XD

Hehe, thanks for the good wishes. :) I figured seeing as I never had an oolong before, getting a flavored one would be a good way to dip my toes in. If I really like it, then I’ll grab an unflavored. (plus I’m a real sucker for anything with maple, so I just had to xD)

Though I think my bank account would rather I didn’t like it, so I won’t buy more. cough
